Creating and Editing Events

This article covers creating new calendar events, setting up recurring schedules, and modifying or removing events.

Creating an event

  1. Select Calendar in the sidebar.
  2. On the Home tab, select New event. In Month view you can also select a day number to start a new event on that date.
  3. Fill in the event form:
Field Notes
Title Required. The name that appears on the calendar.
All-day event Check this to mark a full-day event. The time fields are hidden when it is checked.
Start Required. Date and time.
End Required. Must be after the start. For an all-day event, this is the last day.
Location Optional. A place or an address.
Status Confirmed, Tentative, or Cancelled.
Online meeting Optional. Check this to give the event a meeting room. Not available for all-day events.
Repeat Optional. See below.
Notes Optional. Shown in the event panel.
Invitees Optional. See below.
  1. Select Create event.

To create an event with the Online meeting box already checked, select New meeting instead of New event.

Setting recurrence

To create a repeating event:

  1. In the event form, open the Repeat list.
  2. Choose how often the event repeats:
Option Behavior
Does not repeat A one-time event (the default)
Daily Repeats every day
Weekly Repeats weekly. Choose the days with the On days buttons (Sun through Sat).
Monthly Repeats monthly
Yearly Repeats yearly
  1. Under Ends, choose Never, On a date (then set the End date), or After N times (then set Occurrences, from 1 to 750).
  2. Select Create event.

Recurring events appear on every scheduled date in the calendar.

Inviting people

Under Invitees in the event form:

  • To invite someone in your workspace, choose a name from Add a portal user. Their free and busy times are shown so you can pick a time that works.
  • To invite someone outside your workspace, type their email address under Add an external email and select Add external. External addresses are stored privately, so their free and busy times are not shown.

After you save the event, open it and use Send an invite to email external guests. Enter the guest’s address again and select Send invite. The invite is a standard calendar (.ics) attachment that works in Gmail, Apple Calendar, and Outlook.

Editing an event

  1. Double-click the event on the calendar to open the event panel.
  2. Select Edit.
  3. Change the fields you want.
  4. Select Save. Select Cancel to discard your changes.

For a repeating event, a change applies to the whole series. There is no option to change a single occurrence.

To move a one-time event to another date or time without opening the form, select it in Day or Week view and choose Move on the Event tab. To copy an event, choose Duplicate. A repeating event can only be changed in the editor.

Deleting an event

  1. Double-click the event to open the event panel.
  2. Select Delete.
  3. Confirm the deletion.

Deleting a repeating event removes the whole series. Deletion is permanent. Deleted events are not moved to a trash.
